Live Super Bowl 50: Broncos v Panthers

Welcome to the Wide World of Sports live coverage of the battle between the Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers for the right to claim Super Bowl 50.

Live from Levi's Stadium in San Francisco, the home of Australia's Jarryd Hayne, the NFL's showpiece event pits the game's best offence against the stingiest defence, two Pro Bowl wide-receivers against trash-talking corners and the Sheriff, Peyton Manning, against Superman, Cam Newton.

1:42 PM - Fourth quarter: Great position for the Panthers but the Broncos hold out and Carolina walk away with only a field goal - it's now a one possession game. Panthers 10 - 16 Broncos.

1:35 PM - Fourth quarter: FUMBLE! Now it's Manning's turn to get a case of slipper fingers. The veteran was moving back and looking for a pass on a fourth-and-long but the Panthers got to him first and forced the fumble and recovery. Panthers 7 - 16 Broncos.

1:22 PM - Third quarter: A sacked Manning can't do much on that set of downs and it's a quick three-and-out. Panthers 7 - 16 Broncos.

1:17 PM - Third quarter: INTERCEPTION! Newton blows a great opportunity. The quarterback gets the Panthers rolling, but with the end zone in touching distance, he throws a bullet of a pass the bounces off his receiver and into the arms of a Broncos defender. Panthers 7 - 16 Broncos.

1:08 PM - Third quarter: The Broncos are rolling. Manning moves the markers down the field into the red zone. The Panthers hold out but a field goal increases the lead. Panthers 7 - 16 Broncos.

12:20 PM - Third quarter: Not a good re-start for the Panthers. Newton gets the ball to start the second half and he throws a beautiful pass down the middle and they get within 30 yards but the Broncos' defence holds out. To make matters worse, the field goal attempt hits the post. Panthers 7 - 13 Broncos.

12:20 PM - Second quarter: Newton gets out of trouble thanks to a stunning catch from one of his receivers. However, the quarterback can't work the team into field goal position and his sacking ends the quarter and the first half. Panthers 7-13 Broncos.

12:16 PM: Probably the best review you're going to find on the first half.

12:13 PM - Second quarter:Not a great sequence for either team. A couple of three-and-outs backed onto each other. Panthers 7-13 Broncos.

12:04 PM - Second quarter: INTERCEPTION!Easy come. Easy go. The Broncos dish out an ugly error of their own with Manning passing the ball straight to an awaiting Panther. Panthers 7-13 Broncos.

11:57 AM - Second quarter: FUMBLE! Panthers are playing some sloppy football. Newton fumbles the ball but is ruled down but one the very next play, the ball is out again and the Broncos recover. Panthers 7-13 Broncos.

Panthers strike back in Super Bowl

11:51 AM - Second quarter:The longest punt return in Super Bowl history can't lead to a touchdown for the Broncos. The Panthers stop them in the red zone but Denver extend their lead. Panthers 7-13 Broncos.

11:34 AM - Second quarter: The Panthers are starting to find their rhythm on defence. That's the Broncos third straight three-and-out. Panthers 7-10 Broncos.

11:38 AM: Well, we all can't get to Levi's Stadium ...

11:34 AM - Second quarter: TOUCHDOWN! The Panthers are on the board. Newton finally started to find his range and Carolina hit back with running back Jonathan Stewart spectacularly launching over the Broncos defence and into the end zone. Panthers 7-10 Broncos.

11:24 AM - End of first quarter.

11:20 AM - First quarter:And Manning goes down. The Broncos hands it off a couple of times before dropping back for a pass on the third down. Bad idea. Panthers sack the 39-year-old. Panthers 0-10 Broncos.

11:15 AM - First quarter: This is a nervous start from the usual fast-starting Panthers. They get their first down of the day but a fumble and a sack are covered up by a bad penalty from the Broncos. However, Newton can't take advantage and the punting team are again in action. Panthers 0-10 Broncos.

11:09 AM - First quarter: TOUCHDOWN! What a crazy string of plays! The Panthers challenged a ruling on the field and failed and then Broncos superstar defender Von Miller sacked Newton who lost the ball and Denver recovered it in the end zone. Panthers 0-10 Broncos.

Broncos strike with touchdown

11:02 AM: A sports fan after my own heart.

10: 58 AM - First quarter: Broncos going nowhere on that drive. Three-and-out and the punting team tastes its first piece of action. Panthers 0-3 Broncos.

10: 53 AM - First quarter: Three-and-out for the Panthers. Newton couldn't get anything happening on that drive and they are forced to punt the ball away. Panthers 0-3 Broncos.

10: 44 AM - First quarter: Manning showed a little everything in that drive, but despite a an six-play, 50-yard return, the Panthers defence holds up and the Broncos walk away from the red zone with only a field goal. Panthers 0-3 Broncos.

10:36 AM: Panthers win the toss and defer. Manning gets the first shot at putting some points on the board.

10:30 AM: From one MVP to another ... NBA superstars Steph Curry and Kevin Durant are swept away with Super Bowl fever.
